Normally you check out a complete copy of the tree to your working directory and then commit your changes back to the repository. > If so, what happens when 2 people make a change to > a file that are completely opposite to one another? How does CVS > fix that? It doesn't. It merely indicates a merging conflict for that file and requires the user to handle it. There is an option to lock files that you're working on, so nobody else can commit changes to those files though. And yes, WinCVS (www.wincvs.org) works nicely, especially the latest betas. Don't use the 1.0 stable version but simply go for the 1.1 beta, it's a lot better (and just as stable, actually). I believe there are several scripts that can update your webserver whenever somebody commits a file, so your website will be kept up to date automagically.
